I am having a terrible time with pain and swelling in my arm this summer but my insurance won't cover the cost of the sleeve.

have you tried sporting good stores for the athletic sleeves.... they may help in the mean time until you find medical grade ones...(and they come in great funky colors and designs)... If you get the right size... they really could help... I have used them ... and they work great!!
I have ordered from this website... they do a ton of clearance sleeves too... better than nothing!!!

Why doesn’t your insurance cover the cost? If you have been dx’d with lymphodema and you get a prescription for a compression sleeve I would think insurance would cover it. Also, talk to your doctor about physical therapy for your lymphodema. It will help tremendously. It is possible to get sleeves online.

Try Harbor of Hope Inc in McDonough, GA. It is a non-profit that can assist with some items if they have anything available or funds available. it is no cost to you and they are wonderful! Good luck!

Lymphedivas has discounted seconds that are much cheaper. They are very high quality and comfortable, the seconds have some minor flaws in regard to the pattern or dye, etc. but not any flaw in the compression. My insurance will cover 1 sleeve/gauntlet every 6 months and being able to order some extra sleeves at a lower price is very helpful https://lymphedivas.com/discount-seconds-1/
